I have been saving money to buy a large bird. I am looking for a parrot, but not some parakeet/cocatail type bird. What I am looking for is a bird that is legal to keep in California, and one that is smart, affectionate, and is known for personality. I don't really care if its ugly or loud (I have two parakeets at home.. AAAHH!... but I can deal with it). Also, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO TALK.
My price range is 600 dollars. I am a big fan of Sun Conures, and African Grays (although unfortunately I can't afford one, they're like two-three thousand dollars.)
Any personal bird favorites within my price range?

Hopefully you can search the local newspaper for pets people are giving away? Mini macaws too seem big-ish. Some details here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
